A degree can make a huge difference – in the life of an individual, to the success of a business, and in the prosperity of Colorado. That's why My Degree Matters Colorado is working hard to raise the number of degrees earned in Colorado.

Whether you're a student, thinking about becoming a student, an employer, involved with CO higher education, part of community group, or a CO policy maker – there are resources here for you. So poke around. Learn more. Get involved. Degrees are good for all of us.

Thanks to our wonderful partners
